Sorry but on-line petitions tend to be useless unless you have security about people only signing once, and equally important, that your petition truely represents a significant sample and cross-section of the general community (that is, covers age, social and economic groups, and both men and women, for starters). It would also be polite to tell us what your petition is about, and to whom you would communicate the results. What do you want to achieve? Why should any petition help? Act locally before thinking globally. An hour's work for a local community as a volunteer beats an hour spent on a (probably) useless, and to be ignored, internet poll.
